OVERVIEW

CURRICULUM

Lesson 1. The Science Behind Global Warming

The enhanced greenhouse effect, caused by an increase in greenhouse gases due to human actions, is intensifying Earth's natural warming process. Addressing this challenge involves understanding key terminologies and employing strategies such as renewable energy adoption and afforestation to counteract emissions.

Lesson 2. Tracing the Temperature Trends: Earth's Climate Journey

Understanding the climate requires decoding complex climatology terms and applying historical insights to current environmental conditions. This approach helps identify patterns and predict potential weather changes, fostering informed engagement with global warming and other pressing climate issues.

Lesson 3. The Natural and Human-Influenced Greenhouse Effect

While the natural greenhouse effect is essential for life, excessive greenhouse gas emissions from activities like deforestation and fossil fuel use contribute to global warming. Recognizing this, international efforts and individual actions aim to curb these emissions.

Lesson 4. The Invisible Forces Behind Global Warming

Deforestation contributes a substantial portion of atmospheric CO2, highlighting the urgent need for reforestation and conservation efforts. International initiatives, like those in the Amazon, as well as innovative monitoring technologies, are critical in preserving Earth's carbon sinks.

Lesson 5. Rising Tides: The Economic and Social Impact of Climate Change

Melting polar ice caps lead to rising sea levels and loss of habitats, posing severe threats to coastal cities like Miami and Dhaka. The rapid Arctic melting disrupts ecological balance and accelerates shifts in ocean currents, impacting species and infrastructure globally.

Lesson 6. Nature's Struggle Against Global Warming

Technological innovation in renewable energy and carbon capture offers promising solutions to mitigate global warming, while community action remains key in driving policy and behavioral changes.

Lesson 7. The Indisputable Facts of Climate Change

Established by leading scientists, the IPCC's assessments offer strong evidence of human impact on global warming, pointing to an unavoidable rise in global temperatures. The impact of this warming, observed through extreme weather conditions and changing ecosystems, stresses the need for immediate global action.

Lesson 8. Untangling Climate Perceptions: Media, Science, and Skepticism

Media portrayals have significantly influenced public perception of climate change, with dramatic narratives sometimes skewing understanding. Comprehensive dialogue that embraces diverse viewpoints and a balanced presentation of facts is essential for informed climate discourse.

Lesson 9. From Kyoto to Paris: The Evolution of Global Climate Agreements

Community engagement and grassroots movements are critical for driving change in climate action, with initiatives like the Global Climate Strike highlighting the urgency for environmental justice. Urban planning prioritizing public transportation and green spaces further exemplifies cities leading in climate innovation, creating sustainable urban environments.

Lesson 10. Flourishing Through Sustainable Food Practices

Conserving water through simple actions like fixing leaks or installing water-efficient appliances helps protect our planet's resources. These practical measures reduce utility costs and encourage a broader mindset of sustainability within the community.
